WASHINGTON (AP) — The Rockies hit a franchise record-tying seven home runs, including two from Michael Toglia, and Antonio Senzatela won his second game of the season, as Colorado held off the Washington Nationals 10-6 on Tuesday night.
Colorado hit seven homers in a game for the third time in franchise history, matching April 1997 at Montreal and against Cincinnati in May 2016. The Rockies have won three in a row for the second time this season.

It was the second multihomer game of Toglia’s career. He hit three homers on July 14 last season against the Mets.
Four of the homers came in the six-run seventh, highlighted by a three-run shot from Hunter Goodman and a solo shot by Ryan McMahon off Nationals reliever Cole Henry.
The Rockies last hit four or more homers in one inning on June 20, 2021 against Milwaukee.
Thairo Estrada, Sam Hilliard and Mickey Moniak also homered for the Rockies.
Senzatela (2-10) allowed one unearned run on three hits and three walks in five innings. The right-hander also defeated the Nationals on April 20.
Washington's Michael Soroka (3-5) pitched six innings, striking out a season-high nine batters, but allowed five hits and three runs.
Nathaniel Lowe and Luis García Jr. hit homers for the Nationals, who have lost 10 in a row for the third time since the franchise moved to the nation’s capital in 2005.
Washington third baseman Brady House connected on the first two hits of his major league career, including an RBI single in a four-run ninth.
The Rockies' 10 homers in their last two games are the most in any two-game span in franchise history and the most in any two-game span on the road.
Rockies send RHP Germán Marquez (2-8, 6.62 ERA) to the mound seeking their second road series win of the season, facing Nationals LHP Mitchell Parker (4-7, 4.84) on Wednesday night.

A Ukrainian drone strike killed one person and wounded three others in the Russian city of Voronezh, local officials said Sunday.
A young woman died overnight in a hospital intensive care unit after debris from a drone fell on a house during the attack on Saturday, regional Gov. Alexander Gusev said on Telegram.
Three other people were wounded and more than 10 apartment buildings, private houses and a high school were damaged, he said, adding that air defenses shot down 17 drones over Voronezh. The city is home to just over 1 million people and lies some 250 kilometers (155 miles) from the Ukrainian border.
The attack came the day after Russia bombarded Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles overnight into Friday, killing at least four people in the capital Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials.
For only the second time in the nearly four-year war, Russia used a powerful new hypersonic missile that struck western Ukraine in a clear warning to Kyiv and NATO.
The intense barrage and the launch of the nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile followed reports of major progress in talks between Ukraine and its allies on how to defend the country from further aggression by Moscow if a U.S.-led peace deal is struck.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday in his nightly address that Ukrainian negotiators “continue to communicate with the American side.”
Chief negotiator Rustem Umerov was in contact with U.S. partners Saturday, he said.
Separately, Ukraine’s General Staff said Russia targeted Ukraine with 154 drones overnight into Sunday and 125 were shot down.
